With all the BS they have put me through I am going to talk to a lawyer tomorrow to see if I have any sort of claim against them.
Also talked to her about compensation for loss of value since it is such a new car. All she said is that they are resposible for repairing the car and that's it. The rental is a courtesy that they are doing.

It's just a bumper, so hopefully your car won't have any dimished value actually.
There was no underlying frame damage or anything hopefully, so shouldn't be that big a deal as if it were a major accident.
One thought might be to get the Ronjon aftermarket bumper to replace your rear if you like it! For what the dealer charged me to fix some small scratches and repaint my rear bumper I could have easily purchased an aftermarket one like that and had a brand new one, I just didn't know about it at the time.
I have several friends who are police officers, they were telling me that accidents are a very common occurrence for them, it's a very dangerous part of their job. He said everyone on their force has had at least one accident, usually 1 per year, it's just numbers of being in the car all day long.
Also, he's seen so many accidents now and knows it's so dangerous that he drives like a grandma now. My question was how does it affect their personal insurance rates? lol...fortunately the police department insures them and it doesn't end up on their personal driving record...
